Yeah, I had created two new Personal Folders for him to start moving his files into about two months ago, when his file was more like 1.3 GB. He's now going to start moving the files once I get into them... And, he's being quite impatient. It's difficult to explain the problems well enough for some users to understand that truly if they did some of the things I always suggest to my users that these issues may not come up. I'll be satisfied if I can at least get into the file for him. I'm searching for the PST19UPG, thanks.
Why can't people part with mail, especially attachments and the like. I have tried and tried to convince users to take attachments and save them elsewhere. Why do so many people use Sent Items as a Filing system... Users, users, users.... I'm not bitter though. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 8:48 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: evil pst dilemma I would run the PST19UPG (search google), then run Scanpst.exe about 3 or so times. Also he is dangerously close to the 2GB limit. I would urge the user to stop copying to it and create a new one. Just use the old one to reference. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Peden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 6:35 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: evil pst dilemma I think a repair needs to be done on the PST file.

I have already had to break into the pst because he forgot the password. Now, a strange situation, he was in the middle of moving a file to a Personal Folder when the power to the building went down, a brown out, including his workstation, rebooted. Servers fine, UPS. So, once booted back up the Outlook client locks or won't complete a move, copy, anything all the way through in his Personal Folders that he was working with. I am attempting to play with the pst file on a separate PC so as not to mess with what's on his system. I was successful in copying the file to another workstation, but can't open it Personal Folder in his account, it prompts me for a password. Do I need to try to break into the folder again, or is it possibly that I'm logged into the machine as Administrator, and his mailbox as his username. Do I need to log on as him?
